It's not my intention to deter you from making this leap - just be sure you know what you are getting into, and do some soul-searching, too: Do you truly want to commit the time required to keep the ranch from getting out of your control? Once the honeymoon is over, it will be a lot of hard work, a lot of frustration and discouragement, and a lot of driving to and from the property. My drive is 30 mins each way, and it's actually a nice drive, but I'm getting fed up with it. I listen to a lot of podcasts... But if we could actually live at the property, it would be easier in so many ways, but that's just not going to happen, and I have to accept it. But it would still be more than I can reasonably handle. I have really done nothing else but maintain the property since we bought it. As for your question... no, I do not regret buying the property 15 months ago, despite the sense of disappointment and discouragement I feel now. I learned a huge amount about the work required, and I also learned a great deal about myself over the last year. Up there alone every day, working on the land, solving problems, and making something better than it was when I bought it, that was not wasted time. If we hadn't done it, I know I would be sitting here right now still dreaming of owning a large rural property! And actually, some day we may try again; once my kids are a bit older, maybe I'll have grandchildren who could benefit from spending time outdoors on a ranch. I don't think I'll buy as big of a place, and probably not in California wildfire country, either. But I still love the country, and I still hate the suburbs! Feel free to message me any time.
